im at 194.6, but I had a bad munchy day yesterday, so I probably wont stay there for long

Good morning fellow challengers! I weighed in at 232 this week. Thats a 2lb loss!! My goal for August is 229. I have to lose 3lbs in 10 days....I can do this!

Was on a road trip last week and away from my scale. Checking in this week @ 176.0. Down 2.4# since the beginning of the challenge. Looks like my little experiment may be working! :fingerscrossed!

JulieG (nu2ywg) checking in at 214.6, that's down two and a half pounds! I'm pretty pleased with that considering we did a day trip to the States for shopping on Saturday (and ate in 'merican restaurants) and then ate at Perkins last night.

I'm still 5lb from my goal. Leaving Wednesday for some camping which will be a challenge. I'll be on my own with 3 kids for most of it while hubby works and less access to healthy food, no scale, no gym etc. We'll see what happens. If only I had a bike trailer for my youngest I could bike around with the older kids...any ideas for camping fitness with kids are welcome.

Monday again!

Weighing in at 262!

Down 2 pounds!

Good morning everyone! I'm weighing in at 143.2. Hope everyone has a great week.

Weighing in at 266.6 down 0.4lbs

I'm at 190.6, able to fit into my favorite size 18, but still real tight. Some size 16 fit great, go figure. Exercise goal was not quite met, but still did okay. Been busy with church functions. Diet is still getting cleaned up. Personal goal good.

up to 168.8 this week waiting for results on an mri with a possible stress fracture. was put on a no running, no walking, no biking, no elliptical, etc mandate from the dr. i think upset associated with changing my routine led to eating badly and a gain. please pray i find an alternative work out routine soon before i gain more weight!

Im 238.1 today. Im down 1.9lbs this week. It was a complete struggle! My weight was up and down all last week but I put it in high gear this weekend and pulled it off. I am 3lbs to my goal of 235 by the end of the challenge. Hope I make it!

Healthyroad69 checking in at 195.6. I lost 2.6 lbs. Hooorrraaayyy! Good Luck next week everyone.

Julia checking in.. Lost 1 pound to 172

Amy checking in.. I am the same 212. i had to have an unfill of 2 cc's so I am happy i am the same have to work hard to keep taking it off....I am done with fills for a while last 2 were very bad and dont want to go thru that again.

have a great week !!!

chloe here....weighing in at 159.6lbs. down about 3lbs from last week. ya-hoooo!!!! a new lowest low for me

FINALLY broke into the 150s Its gotten sooooo slow - I was in the 160s for over 2 months. I love being at home - so much better when I can cook at home & hit the gym regularly.

cheers,

chloe

Joan weighing in at 187.4, a loss of 2.4. That's the good news.

The bad news is I had an appointment for my monthly check up and my band has slipped. I am SO bummed. The plan is for me to drink liquids only for the next 3 weeks, as much as I can tolerate, and then they'll reassess the bands position. I am thinking positive thoughts and prayers that it slips back down where it belongs without requiring surgery.

Congratulations to all the "losers" this week! Keep your eye on the prize!

Is your little one small enough for a stroller? You could trot along behind the bike riding kids pushing the stroller. We went all terrain with our son in a stroller after he out grew the back pack. A bike seat for the back of your bike is MUCH cheaper than a trailer. Our son rode in one from about 7 months on up.

Have fun, Joan
